p: We have the Shire.
m: The fires of Isengard will spread, and the forests of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once green and good in this world will be gone. There won't be a Shire, Pippin.

Merry and Pippin break my heart.
AS EVIDENCE OF THIS FACT, HAVE A PICSPAM OF THE FLIGHT FROM EDORAS SCENE FROM RETURN OF THE KING.
[Backstory: Pippin has recently looked into the Palantir, making Sauron think that he has the ring. If you don't know this, gtfo and go watch.]
p: where are we going?
m: why did you look? why do you always have to look?
p: i don't know; i can't help it.
m: you never can.
p: i'm sorry, alright? i won't do it again.
m: don't you understand? the enemy thinks you have the ring.
m: he's going to be looking for you, pip. they have to get you out of here.
p: and you - you're coming with me?
p: merry?
m: come on.
p: how far is minas tirith?
g: three days' ride, as the nazgul flies, and you'd better hope we don't have one of those on our tail.
m: here.
m: something for the road.
p: the last of the longbottom leaf
m: i know you've run out. you smoke too much, pip
p: but - but we'll see each other soon.
p: won't we?
m: i don't know. i don't know what's going to happen.
p: merry ...
g: run, shadowfax. show us the meaning of haste.
p: merry!
*music surges; we all cry; merry runs to the top of the tower to see them go; aragorn follows*
a: merry!
m: he's always followed me, everywhere i went, since before we were tweens. i would get him into the worst sort of trouble. but i was always there to get him out.
m: now he's gone. just like frodo. and sam.
a: one thing i've learned about hobbits: they are most hardy folk.
m: foolhardy, maybe. he's a took.
